Sorry there are no show notes for this episode, I just felt that it needs to stabd as it is and not be a standard podcast with a super structured layout. Spiral and I had to record this without using skype (yes kids, it can happen), so please forgive the fluctuating quality. Spiral and I would also like to dedicate this episode to the late Nujabes.

We loved his music, and it is truly sad to see him go. HIs death was an unfortunate part of life, and I think that through the ideas he expressed through his music. I can not express the impact he left on me personaly, and I'm sure Spiral would say the same.Here's the article that ANN posted.

Yeah, its a bit late, and we haven't had anything new out, but I assure you, we're not dead. Here's the situation, I, Shikon, have no working computer to edit stuff on. NO, its not because its broken, its because I'm not living in my room at the moment. My half finished room (as you can tell from the vlog)is getting fixed up, so all my shit has been packed up and is out of commision for now. However, that won't stop me from being on line, so enjoy my post of nothingness. And have a happy new year.

Anime of the Month - Kobato

Its no secret here at 3JP that we absolutely LOVE CLAMP. So it is no surprise that the anime of the for month of January is CLAMP's newest animated work Kobato. This anime shines like a gem in the waste heap that is this fall's anime season. CLAMP waves there magic (clow?) wand again making you really care for the characters in the show even from episode one. And of course this show oozes with CLAMP's beautiful and almost instantly recognizable artstyle in every single aspect of the show. Not much of a story has poked its head yet but thats ok as you will still enjoy the ride as you laugh and cry along with the characters of this show. Bottom line is if your a CLAMP you need to see this period.

Album of the Week: MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - Buiikikaesu

Known for the opening and ending themes of Death Note's second season, Maximum the Hormone's (MtH)music is actually not like that at all. This album reflects that. If one where to describe Buiikikaesu they would have to say 'feel-good heavey metal'. As odd as that sounds, its the best way to describe them. Songs are hard, but always have an upbeat corus, and makes you feel good while you rock out. Have fun biatches!
